| The Soil Conservation Service
provides leadership and administers several programs to help people conserve, improve, and
sustain natural resources and the environment. The Soil Conservation Service
provides environmental education information through Project Sammy Soil which teaches K-8
students about soil and water conservation. The Soil Conservation Service works with
4-H and Future Farmers of America clubs in co-operation with local high schools.
Activities raise awareness, commitment and responsible action on behalf of the
environment by students and residents. Rogers Group was pleased to assist in the sponsorship of an awards banquet held at Gallatin City Hall, Gallatin TN on December 3, 1998.
